[Python-modules-team] Bug#526154: mod_wsgi 2.3 has major bugs and has to be considered broken

[Thomas Waldmann]

Package: libapache2-mod-wsgi
Version: 2.3-1

When using mod_wsgi 2.3 to run a moin wiki, opera is unable to edit wiki
pages of some specific size, see:

http://moinmo.in/MoinMoinBugs/OperaAndLongPages

As mod_wsgi 2.4 release lists a fixed problem with some specific content
size and apache keepalive, we tried the libapache2-mod-wsgi 2.4-1
package from sid (installs without dependency problems on lenny) - and
it fixed the problem.

As this is a generic mod_wsgi 2.3 problem likely causing problems for
many web applications using it, I consider 2.3 as broken and it should
be urgently replaced in lenny by either 2.4-1 or a backported fix for
that specific problem (I would just use 2.4).
